Abstract: The inverse Compton scattering (ICS) model of the pulsars are reviewed, including the inner gap structure involving the ICS process in the polar cap region, the basic idea of the ICS model for pulsar radio emission, an interpretation of the various observational data in terms of the ICS model, such as the radio emission beams (especially the core and the two conal components), the polarization position angle jumps, and the sense-reversing of the circular polarizations. It is shown that the ICS model is a successful model in understanding the magnetospheric structures and the radiation mechanisms of pulsars.

Key words: pulsars, inverse Compton scattering, pulsars, inverse Compton scattering

摘要： 综述脉冲星的逆康普顿散射(ICS)模型，包括考虑逆康普顿散射过程的内间隙结构，脉冲星射电辐射的逆康普顿散射模型的基本思想，以及利用逆康普顿散射模型对各种观测资料的解释，例如射电辐射束(特别是一个核辐射和两个锥辐射成份)、偏振位置角的突跳、圆偏振的反向等。表明逆康普顿散射模型是理解脉冲星磁层结构和辐射机制的一个成功模型。
